OK, I have a few speculations that relate the novels and the future of the Haruhi series.

1. Volume 12 will be another short to medium length story collection. Volumes 9, 10 and 11 were all one huge story, and I believe Tanigawa-sensei may want to give us a breather and/or some more character development before the next big story arc.

2. The slider that Kyon is waiting for will either be an alternate version of himself(like Kyonko) or a significantly less powerful alternate version of Haruhi that may or not be older than him(as in around Asahina(Big)'s age).

3. Koizumi will get his "turn in the spotlight" story arc and in that we'll learn a lot more about his backstory. We will probably also learn more about Mori and possibly more about Tsuruya too.
I agree that volumn 12 should be just like that. The one story I really hope is covered is how White Day went. We never found out what Kyon got the girls in return for their chocolates.

I'm starting to wonder if a slider will ever come. It would be shame if one never showed.

Koizumi is LONG overdue for some character development, which is ironic given that he's had more dialog than anyone. And I certainly approve of learning more about Mori and Tsuruya!
